Life does not favor

(-April 7, 2061/ 8:15 AM/ Current location: Demon King's forest-)

Man, that was a weird yet satisfying encounter. I felt like I was in a novel where the protagonist is resented for being too powerful. I wasted a small amount of time just from talking to them. And that Princess is probably at the kingdom right about now. I hope I don't run into other weird shenanigans. (Muto)

As he leaped through the forest, he was garnered by a peculiar place.

Muto was getting near a mountain, He was intercepted by a Griffon that flew out in one of the caves of the mountain.

[Muto: There's a lot of them. I wonder what their magic cores look like.]

The Griffons tried to gnaw him out of the sky.

But Muto is faster.

He sprouts his wings and alights to the battlefield. Muto used "Mana Bolt '' to shoot the Griffon's wings and stabbing them back to the ground with his spell swords. A combination of two spells will gradually waste his mana. The condensed energy to fire a Mana bolt is similar to throwing away a jug of water while Spellswords uses the magical energy in the air.

Since Mana Bolt is a Racial Magic, he doesn't need to chant it. The same goes for Armiger.

Be careful you don't have infinite mana. (Evangel)

I know. (Muto)

The clouds above the mountain turned yellow and rain of swords preludes.

Piercing every Griffons' back with high speeds and precision. None of them got killed until.

[Muto: {Solem Arcus Clausus}]

It electrocuted everything that pierced it, sending the Griffons down to the ground.

A delay sequence spell, catalyst based spell and, Area of effect spell with lightning magic. Very crafty Master. (Evangel)

Hey, I have a question. When I fought that Gorilla, wasn't I using Fire magic? And right now, how can I use lightning magic? (Muto)

Being a Master of the Archaic sword has its perks. The handle can give the user access to multiple elements, the blade can cut through anything when Mana is applied and the core can regulate and refine the user's magical energy. (Evangel)

I see. (Muto)

[Muto: Time to consume.]

He flew down to the ground to absorb the magic core inside the Griffons.

Muto saw that their bodies were melting and reeking the unfavorable smell. This sight of guts and blood did not even startle him, even a little bit.

You don't seem fazed at all Master (Evangel)

I've experienced this before. Back when Starlite city was still on the map of the world. The bodies I buried that day remained in my nightmares. (Muto)

It was your parents, wasn't it not? (Evangel)

Bingo! (Muto)

The bodies of Griffons that were disintegrating finally dropped down their core so that Muto can absorb it.

(-8:25 AM-)

(-10 minutes passed-)

[Evangel: You have acquired, "Sky Step".]

Say, why did it take 10 Griffons to get a single Racial magic? (Muto)

What we fought back then was an Alpha Gorilla which has evolved and was infected by corrupted energy. With prolonged periods of surviving, the Gorilla's infection will be part of him, causing an imperfect synchronization. (Evangel)

On a sunny day with a clear blue sky and no clouds, an absence of light covered him. The winds that gave breeze to the trees and waters became furious.

Muto looked up above.

He saw what appeared to be a Griffon that is thrice the size of the ones he fought.

It had its claws open and ready to rip and tear.

I recommend that you dodge. (Evangel)

Isn't it a little late to say that? (Muto)

The Griffon obliterated the surface and everything close to it. Molding a minor cloud of dust and smoke.

Once the haze of dust fades, it is exhibited that the Giant Griffon's legs are gored beyond comprehension by the Spellswords jutting out of the soil.

Muto is soaring above while it struggles with the pain.

[Muto: With that, Its ground combat is gone. It has to fight in the air.]

Amazing Master! You dodge and countered at the same time. (Evangel)

Praise me more. (Muto)

-----------------------------------------------------------

(-8:15 AM/ Current location: Trauzagaien University-)

Mordred aimed his gun at the assassin's head.

Prepare to meet God. (Mordred)

Firing rapidly with Godlike accuracy, all of the assassins are annihilated. Just like a passing waft of air. Group Clichés nonetheless is not approving of this kind of act.

[Vincent: How Can You All Kill Others With A Straight Face?! Do Lives Mean Nothing To You!?]

They all responded shortly and without reluctance.

[Mordred: "Kill the killer before it kills others". That's what Uncle John taught me.]

[Anna: My line of work before is similar to this so seeing corpses is a rare occurrence to me.]

[Filia: I'm the same as Anna. Except I see it often.]

[Raiden: I just don't care about them. People can be replaced, you know?]

He did not sway. It simply made him further exacerbated.

[Vincent: You're All Not Human! All lives are equal. Sinned or not, we can't just disregard the life of others as it is.]

Who decided that? Lives are not equal, to begin with. It varies in lineages, blood, and Historical connections. Then you say that lives are equal when you're living this life of yours. Your stupidity pisses me off. (Mordred)

[Mordred: Look who's talking. Take a long look at yourself and think: "Am I the only person with power?". You're spouting words like it's weightless. Just how do you look at yourself? You blame others because you couldn't impress a slut. Next time stay out of being an undeveloped main character and just be a normal student. Think before you speak, Dumbass.]

Vincent couldn't say anything more. He was swayed by his words. The delusional highschool life that he dwelled in was but a fantasy. Vincent has now entered reality.

[Mordred: Anna, Filia, Raiden. Let's go slay some rats.]

[Raiden: Sure. Whoever kills the least must pay for lunch.]

[Anna: Then I'm not gonna lose.]

[Filia: Just what have I gotten myself into?]

Somebody came bursting through the door. One full of sweat and one with ample concern.

[Mordred: Teacher Anastasia? What are you doing here?]

[Anastasia: Mordred.]

She saw the heap of corpses laid down on the floor. To her alarm, he didn't hesitate to kill. All in cold blood and a straight face.

"Kill the killer before he kills others". Just like what his father told others. (Anastasia)

She runs up to Mordred and scans his body while asking crucial questions.

[Anastasia: Are you hurt anywhere?]

[Mordred: I didn't. Even if I did, my body will recover itself before it becomes fatal.]

Anastasia grabbed his hand and tried to drag him out of the school.

As Mordred is being out of his will, he tries to resist by giving resistance and grasping the ground.

[Mordred: Why are you doing this? Your grip is monstrous.]

After a lengthy tug of war, she finally stopped pulling.

[Anastasia: I can't let you be seen fighting against her pawns. She has more and if this country were to fight then this country is doomed.]

[Mordred: Who is she then?]

[Anastasia: Alice Vanidicus. A psycho.]

Inside the halls of the university, they hear a man humming to the chorus of the Seven nation army. Old, black hair, Black eyes, Black long coat, deep voice, and a black gun.

It fits his description well.

[Anastasia: Why are you here Videns?]
